Just back from AK. 9 nights on the Koktuli. Very low water for the first couple of days, until we reached the confluence of the north and south forks. Not as many dollies and rainbows as in Aug. Ridiculous amounts of kings and sockeye. Largest bow was 24 inches, largest king was 30 pounds - which is pretty exciting on a small river. Lots of greyling. And more bears than we see in Aug for some reason. Great group of guys and great camping spots as usual. A few days of rough weather, but that's nothing new. Helicopters now flying over with Pebble Mine folks, thanks to the new staffing at the EPA. No place is sacred anymore.
